"Butterball, I know how you feel. Everyone had there orders except for my son. He got his orders 1 week before he graduated from A School, then he left 1 week after for his ship. Now they are sending him to C School somewhere…"

"Thank you Anti M and Barefootie for the information. Now my next crazy question is why does it seem everyone has their orders except for my son? It is so aggravating not knowing what is happening. thank you in advance for the information. "

"Sorry. C school approximately 12 weeks for my sailor but it all depends on the equipment they are being trained on. Some are longer. I know my sailor has one more school after his C school before his deployment to Japan "

From Chief of Naval Personnel Public Affairs
WASHINGTON (NNS) -- The Navy announced Wednesday the establishment of four new ratings for active duty Sailors, yeoman submarine (YNS), logistics specialist submarine (LSS), culinary specialist submarine (CSS) and fire controlman Aegis (FCA) in NAVADMIN 021/17.

Also make change 3 (see the words in bold) so that this page is no longer visible to EVERYONE (Anyone) with access to the web.I suggest "Just My Friends" since you have chosen to include pics of your Sailor on your My Page.

There may be other changes you need to make as well, so read and consider each of the changes.

Another change that I recommend that is mentioned in change 1 is to change the ZIP Code to one that is not easily associated with you or your Sailor.

Hi Mary, I sent a email about a week or two ago, I had some stress since my sailor been on deployment. I really need to network with the other N4M & other groups. Also, need help with my profile & setting pages. Because I hadn't been out here since I joined in July 2010. A new administration did email me back I somehow accidently lost her reply and don't know if my private setting is correct. I think it happen adding you has a friend, I don't know what I did wrong. Need an Administration help. Thanks Carrie
